Strategy and Organisational Change
Creating Strategic Advantage
Overview Learn the core tools and frameworks needed for developing an effective strategy in your organisation. This Postgraduate Award delivers a practical guide to strategy while enabling you to develop a detailed understanding of the strategic advantage concept and how it can be applied to your organisation. You will explore the key analytical concepts, frameworks and methods to use in setting a company’s short and long-term direction. You will analyse the integrated approach to business to understand how distinct contributions that different functions and teams make support the overall strategic intent. You will also develop an understanding of strategic decision-making within the context of a VUCA world (volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous), within which all organisations are now operating. How is the programme structured? This Postgraduate Award will run across four days of face-to-face teaching at our London base in The Shard, with a six week window to complete your assignments. You will consolidate your learning through relevant assignments that will provide useful tools to take back to your organisation. This programme will be assessed by Individual Assignment (100%).
